Hi Chris, Following this thread, I started experimenting with the R2wd package myself.
I wrote to the developer who gave me some promising news (that is - that an updated package is expected to be released in the next couple of months) I wrote about this, and gave an example session on what I found can be done with R2wd here: http://www.r-statistics.com/2010/05/exporting-r-output-to-ms-word-with-r2wd-an-example-session/ This package is in it's early stages, but can still function well (though probably much less then what a Latex person can do with Sweave) Tal ----------------Contact Details:------------------------------------------------------- Contact me: tal.gal...@gmail.com | 972-52-7275845 Read me: www.talgalili.com (Hebrew) | www.biostatistics.co.il (Hebrew) | www.r-statistics.com (English) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On Mon, May 3, 2010 at 4:47 PM, Chris Evans <chrish...@psyctc.org> wrote: > Thanks Tal & Thomas, I am now experimenting with both SWord and R2wd and > both are certainly a huge step forward for me, tied as I am to Word and > the Windoze/M$ world for now. > > Chris > > > > Tal Galili sent the following at 01/05/2010 09:44: > > > Hi all, > > I forwarded this question to the r-com mailing list, and received the > > following reply from Thomas Baier : > > > > > > > > Hi Tal, > > > > two solutions immediately come to my mind: SWord > > (http://rcom.univie.ac.at) and R2wd (from CRAN). > > > > If creating a paper in Word, then SWord may be the better choice, if you > > want to create reports controlled from R, R2wd might be the better one. > > > > Best, > > Thomas > > They both look potentially very useful and can do wonderful embedding of > tabulated data frames and graphics to judge form the help page for R2wd > and that works on my set up.
